Raoul Moat hopes to be sent to Vietnam, Afghanistan and Burma,

During his 18 weeks incarceration in Durham prison Raoul Moat carfully planned out his future career path outside of jail.

Inmates have pointed out that Raoul Moat spent several hours discussing his career options with Durham's recently appointed Careers counsellor - John Rambo.

IT is understood that a close affinity between Mr Moat and Mr Rambo developed to such an extent that it is believed that Mr Moat's current rampage is an attempt to emmulate the well document career of the ex-Vietnam vet and friend of the undertaker, armsdealer and general bedlam creator.

In developments that closely match scenes from First Blood - Northumberland police are speculating that Mr Moat is currently holded up in a forest somewhere stitching his shoulder - and are expecting a shocking denoument when he will destroy a small town in an confrontation with Police Officers, only to stop at the sight of Col Sam Trautman.
